Correct Answer: By


Solution : The correct choice is the first option "by."

The complete sentence is a proverbial expression that conveys the idea that people are often judged or assessed based on the friends and associates they choose to be around.

The options ''for", ''in", and ''of'' don't fit contextually in the sentence.

Therefore, the complete sentence is "A man is known by the company he keeps" .
